    I'm curious: in what way does the "standard" post format (i.e. no post format selected) "actually cause[] broken behavior"? Commented Feb 11, 2012 at 5:09

    Because if something ends up in that format, the templating will come out wrong(to varying degree depending how customized the other formats are), and there's no good way to determine that without visiting every single post and just knowing it's supposed to be in some other format. There's also no reason to template standard at all(in my case, it will never be used; yes, really). If I did it may still not be possible for the fallback to look okay, and as I said it would just make the discovery problem above even worse because now the things in standard won't look as obviously wrong.
